Tim1 and Tim3 are not essential for experimental allergic asthma
BACKGROUND Initial studies suggested that polymorphisms in Tim1 and Tim3 contribute to the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR) in an acute mouse model of asthma. This was also mirrored in human genetic studies where polymorphisms in Tim1 and Tim3 have been associated with atopic populations. OBJECTIVE Further studies using anti-Tim1 or -Tim3 antibodies, or Tim fusion proteins, have al...

متن کاملAssociation of ADAM33 gene polymorphisms with allergic asthma
Objective(s): Asthma results from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. ADAM33 gene on chromosome 20p13 is associated with asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study, where four SNPs S1 (rs3918396), T1 (rs2280091), T2 (rs2280090), V4 (rs2787094) of ADAM33 gene have been assessed in patients with allergic asthma and normal con...
متن کاملCannabinoid Receptor 2 Signaling Does Not Modulate Atherogenesis in Mice
BACKGROUND Strong evidence supports a protective role of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB(2)) in inflammation and atherosclerosis. However, direct proof of its involvement in lesion formation is lacking. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize the role of the CB(2) receptor in Murine atherogenesis. METHODS AND FINDINGS Low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLR(-/-)) mice subje...
متن کاملTSLP receptor is not essential for house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis in mice
TSLP induces Th2 cytokine production by Th2 cells and various other types of cells, thereby contributing to Th2-type immune responses and development of allergic disorders. We found that house dust mite (HDM) extract induced TSLP production by nasal epithelial cells, suggesting that TSLP may be involved in development of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR). To investigate that possibility in gre...
